I was beyond exhausted, too worn out to actually enjoy motherhood or be fully present with my child. I started to wonder what I’d gotten myself into and if I was cut out for this whole thing. I would just hold my overtired, “colicky” baby and cry with him, so confused and unsure how to help him get the sleep I knew he needed.

I assumed that I had a “bad sleeper”…a baby who just didn’t want or need as much sleep as other babies.I read ALL the blogs, social media posts, online articles, etc… the problem was that everyone and their mom (literally) had a different opinion on baby sleep, and all the opinions completely contradicted one another! I had a sea of information at my fingertips but was more confused than ever.

So I tried all the things..feeding my baby every time he cried, co-sleeping, contact napping, etc. The problem was…it didn’t work! He was still sleeping only short stretches and could only sleep physically touching me…I couldn’t get anything done.

I was out-touched, anxious and irritable due to not getting the rest I needed. It started to affect my health and relationships. But I had accepted that this was just the way it had to be, that it was true what everyone says: once you have a baby you never sleep again. I thought that to desire otherwise was selfish.

I thought I had to sacrifice my health and well-being in order to be a good mom.

Thankfully, I finally discovered the simple, gradual ways of supporting a child’s sleep, ways that work with their natural rhythm and design.

Within a couple weeks, my child was sleeping all night and napping well during the day…without crying it out.

I was so thankful. I felt like myself again, and my baby was much less fussy…and miraculously his “colic” was gone! I was finally able to enjoy motherhood, and have space for the other things in my life that mattered.

I followed the same plan with my second baby and she slept well practically from birth. All the other families I met who said they used these same methods had the same result in their homes, without exception, with each of their children. I had found the secret to sleep!

Now, I’m passionate about helping other families sleep again, so they can fully enjoy parenthood and have SPACE in their lives for what MATTERS. Space for maintaining their mental and physical health, adult relationships, interests/work, AND being a present and effective parent. I’ve learned everything I could about pediatric sleep so you don’t have to. I’ve worked with hundreds of families over the last 3 years.
